Trent Valley's Goes One Step Further

More space...more style...more products...multi-award winning Network VEKA installer Trent Valley Windows unveiled its new showroom with a big-prize launch event – and announced its intention to build a new conservatory show-site as the next step of the plan.

VIP guests and customers saw a completely refitted showroom, with much more footage given over to showing the company’s extensive range of windows and doors, and also heard of the plan to add the conservatory village to the front of its Nottingham HQ.

Marketing Manager Rachel Briody said: “We can not only show a wider range of products but also in a more comfortable, lifestyle orientated environment and, judging from the reaction of all our visitors, we can see it is going to be a great success.”

Among the new products on show is an impressive display of the highly authentic Glazerite Residence 9 flush sash system that the trade fabricator launched at the FIT Show, as well as a wider range of doors. The company has also created a kitchen scene to show off its kitchen window and cottage-style stable door.”

Trent Valley Windows is one of Network VEKA’s biggest and most successful members and holds many of the organisation’s awards for quality and customer service. It is also a long-standing customer of Glazerite Windows Ltd, the UK’s largest VEKA fabricator and an active supporter of Network VEKA.

Glazerite Director Jason Thompson said: “Trent Valley is a highly professional organisation and amply deserves all its trophies. The new showroom will prove to be a great benefit to the business and we are proud to have supported the company is equipping it.”

The proposed conservatory village, to replace a former unit at a nearby garden centre, is currently undergoing planning formalities.

The Glazerite UK Group Ltd has applauded fellow fabricators, AluFoldDirect, for their win at this year’s G18 Awards. The aluminium bi-folding doors and windows manufacturer won the Fabricator of the Year award, while Glazerite and fellow Wellingborough-based fabricator, Emplas, were runners up at the event, which took place on Friday 30th November at the Hilton Park Lane, London.
Glazerite Managing Director, Jason Thompson, says “Winning the award ourselves in 2017 has been a great morale boost for our employees, and for our profile in the industry. Although there was no award for us this year, we were thrilled for our sister company, Double R, who claimed the award in the Glass Company category and for our installer, The Window Company (Contracts), who succeeded as Installer of the Year.
“We had a fantastic night and would like to say thank you to the organisers. It’s always a great atmosphere and a good opportunity to catch up with old and new faces from across the industry.”
Glazerite cemented their 2017 win with some further extensions to their already comprehensive portfolio, including new styles and colours across their composite doors and the addition of Residence 7 as a third option to their Flush Sash range. The next 12 months will see a major investment plan for Glazerite across its sites, including plant, machinery and factory expansion, in order to further support the growth of its ambitious business plans.

The Glazerite UK Group Ltd’s annual charity Race Evening took place on 16th November, with over 140 guests joining the fabricator for the fun-filled event. Held at the Wolverhampton Racecourse for the third successive year, the evening kicked off with the horseracing, followed by a three-course meal and a disco, all courtesy of VEKA’s leading trade fabricator, Glazerite.
Employees from the Wellingborough-based firm welcomed customers and suppliers from the length and breadth of the UK for the annual event, which this year raised nearly £600 for The Lewis Foundation. The charity supplies gift packs for patients undergoing cancer treatment in and around hospitals local to Northamptonshire.
Michelle Wright, Glazerite’s Group Marketing Manager, says: “We’ve been supporting The Lewis Foundation for a while. They’re a fantastic charity who have this year given out a staggering 15,000 gift packs to patients. We’re really proud to be able to support them again with our Race Night.”
Guest Gary Copp, from Goldseal Conservatories Ltd, says of the event: “The Race Night was the best we’ve attended so far. We’ve worked with Glazerite for many years, installing their industry-leading products and we would like to thank them for a wonderful evening and for the opportunity to support the Lewis Foundation. A good night was had by all!” K2 Aluminium Systems’ Liam Bird and his wife Paula were delighted to meet leading lady jockey, Hayley Turner OBE on the night. Liam says: “Hayley was riding the Queen’s horse, Eightsome Reel, at the meet and it was really interesting to meet her.”
Meanwhile, Glazerite’s very own Cassie Macdonald hit a winning streak, thanks to her equine namesake, Castle Hill Cassie, coming first past the post.
Jason Thompson, Glazerite’s Director, says: “The event is a great way for us to thank our customers for their continued loyalty. It’s always a great night, and a good opportunity for our customers, staff and suppliers to get together in an informal way. We are also delighted to have raised so much money for the Lewis Foundation at the same time.”
